By the time he uttered the last sentence, he was enraptured, his eyes blood-red, and his voice inexplicably hoarse.
The bride and the host on stage both felt like they must have misheard.
The parents and relatives below the stage thought the groom had misspoken.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Chairman Chen Shu turned his head, looking at the groom!
Over sixty students stormed toward the entrance of the banquet hall!
Twelve wanted criminals controlled by talisman paper were all suddenly taken aback!
Everyone suddenly thought... could it be that this groom is also a disciple of the Round Stone Ancient Immortal?
But the groom took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and viciously crushed it!
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the groom's hand was pierced, blood spurted out!
The contents of the bottle, also blood, sprayed out in the same manner!
The blood flying into the air was a crimson red, even more vivid than the red decorations at the wedding scene!
But the blood did not fall to the ground; instead, it turned into a misty, hazy Blood Qi, instantly spreading throughout the brightly lit banquet hall, tainting the festive air with a bloody scent, turning it a pale red!
"What is this?"
"What's happening?"
Before people could react, the Blood Qi kept spreading, escaping through the doors and windows of the banquet hall, dispersing out of the hotel, rapidly spreading over the town where the hotel was located, dyeing the air of streets and alleys red!
In an instant, the world changed color, and the air was tinted with red ink!
...
Bai Mo sat inside the business car, watching the surveillance footage.
The few members beside him frowned.
"What the hell is happening?"
"Why is it so red? Is the monitor broken?"
Bai Mo furrowed his brow, his expression heavy.
Something was wrong!
Is this the handiwork of the Ancient Immortal?
What technique is this?
He then saw in the surveillance footage, the banquet hall engulfed in red, bloody air, enveloping everyone.
Clatter...
The sound of everyone standing up, chairs being pushed by their legs.
Everyone was like zombies, their bodies stiff and trembling, muttering sounds from their mouths.
Regardless of whether they were the groom's relatives, the bride's relatives, the host on stage, or the bride...
Regardless of whether they were Immortal Technique Committee members among them, non-sequence technicians, Sequence Nine Immortal Technique members, or Chairman Chen Shu of Sequence Eight...
They were all making the same sound.
A cacophony of voices mixed together, chaotic and demonic, streamed through the audio channel of the surveillance, like a turbulent pine forest.
The sounds they uttered were...
"Kill me!"
"Kill me!"
"Kill me!"
Bai Mo furrowed his brow.
This...
He was about to do something when suddenly he noticed that even in this business car, red Blood Qi seeped in through the window gaps!
The members inside the car, with traces of red Blood Qi tails lingering in their nostrils, were all stiff as zombies, their eyes bloodshot, their bodies trembling, and they too uttered the same words...
"Kill me!"
"Kill me!"
"Kill me!"
A wisp of Blood Qi drifted in, trying to enter Bai Mo's nostrils.
But just as it entered, it was burnt into black smoke and expelled by Bai Mo.
It turned out that two small Pill Fires, like stars and beans, were burning in Bai Mo's nostrils.
He extended his hand, with slender fingers pinching a wisp of Blood Qi in the air, gently twisting it, trying to analyze it.
"This... Hmm... the Immortal Qi content is very, very low.
"As expected, the Ancient Immortal cannot bring out too much Immortal Qi from the dream realm.
"But... this Blood Qi is too mysterious.
"Just a trace of Immortal Qi can be used to such an extent?
"Is this the means of the Ancient Immortal?
"A single egg turned into a grand feast?
"So, what is the best way for me to handle this?"
...
Inside the hotel, Black Hide and the dozen other wanted criminals, their eyes reflecting the deranged individuals, mirrored this human world-turned-scarlet Hell, were all frightened.
After the chairman lost control, the talismans on their bodies fell off by themselves, allowing them free movement.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, the over sixty students had also rushed in!
Black Hide and the others suddenly realized!
He raised his head, shouting loudly at his fellow disciples!
"This is the feast our master arranged for us!
"We want to kill, they seek death!
"Hahahaha, brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for? What's there to be courteous about?
"Everyone...
"Kill!"
The dozen wanted criminals laughed out loud, fingers formed into claws, fingernails caked with dried blood, slashing toward one neck after another seeking death!
The over sixty students with crazed expressions, enraptured as well, formed their fingers into claws, pristine fingers either stained with ink, slashing toward one neck after another seeking death!
...
Inside the business car cabin, Bai Mo furrowed his brow.
"Can't figure out the right solution for now.
"But... there really is a way to resolve it."
His Divine Sense reached Fox Mountain, issuing orders to his disciples.
"Is there any of that batch of No. 3 pesticide left in the warehouse, the one that was discarded? Haven't thrown it out, right? Bring me a bottle!"
Shortly after, a white mist rose on his lap, and a fox disciple emerged, holding a Bronze Bottle, wagging its large tail, and jumped right into the master's arms.
"Aww oww!"
This was the fastest runner among the disciples, named Flying Legs.
"We have an emergency mission, run faster later!"
Bai Mo stroked its chubby neck with his left hand, lighting two small fires like stars and beans at his right fingertips, stuffing them into Flying Legs' nostrils to block the invading Blood Qi. He then pointed out the direction for Flying Legs.
"Go that way, follow the red Blood Qi in the air, find the place with the densest Blood Qi and most people, and open the bottle cap."
"Aww oww!"
Flying Legs responded to the master, then "whoosh" jumped out from the car window, following the direction from which the Blood Qi floated "whoosh whoosh whooshed" out!
Its speed was so fast, like a streak of red light, leaping over rooftops, its fox eyes following the Blood Qi in the air at the master's designated direction, rushing out rapidly!
The small buildings, streets, and telephone poles at the urban-rural border rapidly receded in its field of vision!
It had already seen the place with the densest Blood Qi, seen the Blood Qi floating out from the front windows.
Whoosh!
It landed on the windowsill, its head pushing the window open, seeing the dense throng of people inside, some slashing wildly, others offering their necks to be slaughtered, a scene of madness like Hell!
"Aww?"
So terrifying?
It snapped the Bronze Bottle cap into its mouth, biting it open with a "pop," directing the bottle's mouth toward the window inside.
This pesticide was an obsolete product from Fox Mountain, toxic!
When using it, it should be used cautiously!
The fox claw-held bottle began to tremble, making a "whoosh whoosh" sound as if a gale was trapped inside!
Now, with the cap open, the gale seemed to be rushing out from the bottle!
Swoosh...
Swoosh!
This was a gale of green wind, roaring out!
It was too fast, too fierce, making people in the banquet hall stagger, tables wobble, dishes slide off, banners and decorations sway, and windows clatter loudly!
It was a gale of green wind, blowing away all the Blood Qi in the air!
Wherever the green gale reached, the red Blood Qi was all erased!
...
Inside the banquet hall.
Whether Bloodthirsty or ordinary people, or Immortal Technique Committee members, they had all collapsed to the ground.
Some people's fingers were bloody, sticky and messy.
Some had holes in their throats, bleeding continuously.
Black Hide and his fellow disciples were all poisoned, convulsing, with faces like gold paper, vomiting blood, on the brink of death.
The students were slightly less poisoned but also vomiting blood.
Others affected by the Blood Qi had bloody froth, snot, and red-black fibrous substances streaming from their nostrils.
Chairman Chen Shu, supporting his weak body, crawled up from the ground, blew the blood-clotted fibrous substances from his nose, on the brink between life and death, grieved and relieved, couldn't help shedding tears.
"Is this... affected again and also rescued?
"Who is saving people with this green wind?"
He looked around, seeing the entire banquet hall in disarray, yet unable to find the savior.
